| Sunday
started off a cold, windy, yet clear blue skied day
which probably resembled Saturday in many ways. |
| |
| I
arrived at the airfield to find the day's crew
consisting of Peter Stephenson (DI), Mick Moloney
(L1) and Simon Descovich (under the weather
DP). |
| |
| Additionally
Bob Hainsworth was under the Barina fitting a new
exhaust and Chris Weir and friend Tom were also
there bright and early for some long awaited flying. |
| |
| With
gusty winds blowing from the west we headed down to
runway 24 to commence the days operations. Shortly
after setting up, our Cessna 180 tow plane arrived,
piloted by Andrew from Boonah. |
| |
| Unfortunately
as mentioned above Simon wasn't feeling too great,
so we insisted that he should probably go home and generally everyone will chip in
as DP for the day. |
| |
| First
flight of the day was Chris and Tom who experienced
10 knot lift (wave) and had to use airbrakes to stay
under 4500 ft. |
| |
| Peter
Stephenson was next off the rank with passenger
Rosalyn for leisurely 47min birthday flight, still
taking advantage of the wave. |
| |
| Dave
Crocker arrived a little later in the morning to
continue his training with Mick Moloney, clocking up
4 flights in Yankee Kilo and getting some good
experience in the rough conditions. |
| |
| Peter
Stephenson and myself went for a check flight/outlanding
simulation which was good fun! And Speedy launched
the K6 for an 8 minute flight.....before
re-launching for a 79min flight (of the day). |
| |
| After
a solo by myself and a tie down solo for Bob it was
time to pack up and call it another weekend at
YCAB. |
|
|
|
Thanks to everyone for their
efforts.

| Thanks
Dan for the report. |
| |
| Yes,
it was the best wave flight at YCAB that I have had. |
| |
| I
saw Bert take off for another dose of wave flying
too. |
| |
| Absolutely
great week-end. |
